  • First Online:
The Physics of Ferromagnetism

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 158))

Abstract

The history of the research on magnetoresistance effect is described first and then the basis of electron conduction is explained. Classification of the magnetoresistance effect is done. Among them, experiment on anisotropic magnetoresistance and its origin based on the model by Campbell et al. are explained. Further, it is shown that the measurement of magnetoresistance and magnetization curves is useful to investigate the magnetization states. Finally, the finding of giant magnetoresistance effect (GMR) and its further development are described.
